Blu-ray Review: ‘George Washington’ Re-Release Recalls Introduction of Great Director
Submitted by NickHC on March 13, 2014 - 10:18amCHICAGO – Before “Snow Angels”, “Prince Avalanche”, or even “The Sitter”, director David Gordon Green flexed his film school muscles in his unabashed inauguration, “George Washington”.
